My last cut & colour with my long term girl was my "break up" cut!!! She coloured me too blonde (what? is there such a thing??? yes - apparently there is, at least on MY skin tone!) and... the killer of all insults.... my head looked like I was wearing a MULLET!!!
oh --- that was it!! I came home madder than a wet hornet!
I have very dry/frizzy hair and had grown out my layers over about a year --- which she promptly CUT again into layers during this cut and after saying how great it looks being at one length and "we'll just trim a bit off the bottom" - perfect! Unfortunately, once she styled it, she felt it needed 'layers' again and just started cutting before I stopped her (half of the back was cut... you can't put it back, so had to have the rest of it cut as well ) OH I WAS SO UPSET!! and I said so at the time - which is VERY out of character of me to actually speak up right there and then and express my unhappiness. I ended up chopping my own hair with the help of DH and DD, so I minimized the mullet look. So now, here I am 7 weeks later needing a new colour touch up and a trim and looking for a new stylist. I think I found one and will talk with them this week before I commit to an appointment. I feel guilty that I'm cheating on my long term stylist who I like as a person... but WTH was with that last cut?!?
I've been asking friends for recommendations as well as googling for local reviews. Any tips? suggestions? And while researching --- HOLY COW the prices for what I'm looking for are in the $150+ range!! YIKES! There is something to be said for sticking with my regular girl...
I'm torn - break up with her? Stay but be VERY clear there will be no more layers again?? Try someone new once? argh --- its just hair, for heaven's sake
